(216 posts)someone else? They are rigged, or the voters are just dumb, aka "the south."
And now we have a new one. California aren't smart enough to choose the "revolution" because they're busy being shallow and voting for the winner because she won.

(216 posts)He can go away mad if he wants to, just, you know. Go away.
But I suspect strongly he'll be back and his tone will change dramatically after the 7th when he needs help with his massive debt.

(47,209 posts)Whether it is distain for the process or his ego, I don't expect him to do much to help beat Trump. He's going to look increasingly foolish after next week if he keeps it up and it's a shame all around.
Mr Maru
(216 posts)IRL will vote for Hillary. There will be a few vocal fundamentalist types, the kind who were seen arguing that a "Tea Party of the Left" would be awesome, who will sit and hold their breath in the corner till they turn purple. But that contingent is always there, in the corner, holding their breath and stomping their feet.

(47,209 posts)Average Dem in most of the areas where people are critical of her - and a better than average in many ways- and the "outrage" will die out. Am very much looking forward to her debating Trump. I thought it was ridiculous for Sanders to suggest he have that honor.

(8,168 posts)We'll say it's 5 points for the sake of argument. If Bernie can swing the -5 point lead to a 50 point lead in a week, he has a chance of winning the nomination.
Seems pretty doable, what do DUers think?
